The PBP

[yaya]

Whats the PBP that people on other boards are talking about?

[Queen of Denial]

This is an annual event held in Los Angeles in February. A committee of posters (the PBP Committee) who posted at the original BRONZE (official website posting board) and now the BRONZE BETA, coordinates this event. The show has no official role in the coordination of the PBP, however they donated items used in the raffles. Though VIPs from the show have attended in the past, and will be invited in the future, they are under no obligation to attend and besides the purpose of the PBP is to meet other posters.The PBP is also used to raise funds for charity (make-a-wish foundation)

--------

got that from the official PBP site at http://www.pbparty.com/contents.htm and added a bit more info.

[yaya]

the actors and writers attended right?....will there be pics?

Man, I was on the Bronze Beta yesterday and let me tell you it was madness. A bunch a people kept asking "where are all the VIP's"
"why aren't the VIP's posting". But I had a blast just reading all the post of those who were at the PBP. They would tell us who was there and what was going on. It felt like I was at the actually party. Hopefully next year, I will be quicker to sign up and have the funds as well.

LONG LIVE OUR GODDESS TARA!!!!!!!

Amber Benson rocks and is a total hottie!!!!!!!!

[Buttercup]

I just got back from the PBP, it was total chaos! There were sooo many people, and wow, Aly and Amber! *swoon* I'll post pictures when I get them developed.

[Dr.G]

Oh hey Buttercup, lucky you. Aly and Amber and swoon eh? Heh heh, I'll bet, until you get your pics developed do you have any tales to tell?

Wow, the PBP sounds like it was a blast. And I was just on the beta while it was going on. Usually I only go to the beta like once a month or so cause it just goes too fast for the number of boards I frequent. Just my luck it happened to be during the PBP.

I know a lot of people were like "why aren't the VIPs posting", but at least they showed up. Only 3 actors and some of the writers showed up to the Roswell PBP.

I can't wait to hear all the stories

[Nic C]

Grrr for the PBP being held on the wrong side of the Atlantic

Sooo jealous of everyone who went, but also v happy for you all (I'm a woman of contradictions tonight, it seems)

There's an official PBP website? URL, anyone? (pretty please!)

Thanks

[willow4tara]

Just got home after spending the weekend in LA. PBP rocked!

Everyone was so sweet, poor people were mobbed with us fans though. Amber being mobbed the most of course.

I saw everyone I would have wanted to see, Aly and Amber are just so adorable. I want Aly's hat.

I have pics of course, this being the most important one of all.

lol! That is so true. I post quite often at the Bronze Beta, but nothing could have prepared me for the huge ammounts of posts on Saturday night/Sunday morning!

I remember seing your name now, I would've given a shout out but as you mentioned everything was going soooo fast, and I was busy trying to explain what the PBP was and post helpful links for all the celeb-hunting newbies!

Actually I still found the bronzebeta to be quite managable on Saturday night, I remember the old bronze and that was just probably 4 times the posts. buttercup and willow4tara, I hope you had a great time.

And poor Amber getting mobbed and I guess she was sick. Joss posted this yesterday:

certainly not joss says:
(Sun Feb 17 20:56:25 2002)

Okay, weird: went for my usual Saturday at the American Legion, looking to shoot some pool and trade war stories, and there a bunch of groupies there for some "Television" program? I mean, they seemed nice and all, that Britgirl certainly made an impression, and a very sweet Kiba sort of gal, but it was a madhouse. Three evil nerds dancing on stage (Followed later by three COMPLETE nerds dancing on stage, heh heh... oh dear...), all very fun. That Denisof fellow signing even longer than I (who was apparently taken for some kind of "television" prducer, despite my manly lumberjack beard) could... all great fun. And an impressive sum raised for Make a Wish. All in all, somehwta rockin' as you youngsters would say. But where were my fellow leagionaires?

and

I Still Know That I Wasn't Joss Last Summer says:
(Sun Feb 17 21:01:39 2002)

Seriously, I'm bummed I couldn't meet everyone -- I just got exhausted! The trooper of Life was Amber, who was really sick and almost couldn't come. Thank you guys for the whole bash. The one night when writers get to pretend they're rock stars. (What exactly happened with DeKnight's undies? On second thought, never mind. Seriously.)

By the by, I for some reason have had trouble finding this site, which is why I've not been around. Oh, that and being insanely busy. I mean, even for me.

Hmmm, are you Cirrus Kain??? Or the other woman shown in the picture? Please reveal yourself as I know Cirrus Kain from the Bronze when I posted there under another name. I'll tell if you tell.

And, FYI, the link didn't work when I clicked on it. But when I deleted the address from my address bar and typed it in it showed up. Very odd. Lovely picture, however. Poor Amber looks ill and definitely in need of that "comfort" provided.

[willow4tara]

Nope, me not Cirrus, me Vern I went with Cirrus, she is the blonde.

Oh and what is your screen name at the Bronze, I'll tell her you say hi
